My grandmother in Memphis did the same thing. And she had lived in either Memphis or some god forsaken town in Mississippi her whole life.

I am from the south but my family was never a sweet tea drinking clan.  Not my parents nor grandparents nor great grandparents drank sweet tea - and they had all been in Tennessee for their whole lives. I can’t stand the stuff. We drank gallons of unsweetened tea.

Any number of prescription medicines are disposed of when others could use them. This is a great travesty.  My partner, who is now deceased, was on a very expensive oral chemo and I could not donate her unopened, unexpired bottles of the stuff that cost thousands of dollars. I would have been thrilled if someone else…

I like the taste of kale just fine, but hate the idea of a vegetable that is needier than my partner.

I am a huge fan of brining and then sous vide-ing thick pork chops and then searing them. But I am looking forward to trying this recipe on regular chops. 

I found fentiman’s ginger beer to be a sad disappointment in the fiery category. I wanted more ginger bite from it. I have resorted to making my own or buying an Indian brand from my local international grocery store.

I always brine my chicken. It doesn’t take long with chicken pieces - 30 min to 1 hour is all in a basic brine. It does wonders for the bird. It doesn’t make too salty but I usally cut back on salt in the spices I use to cook it with. The meat stays moist and the flavor of what ever spices I am using is enhanced by…

I can see where it would help with a hangover. I used it all the time when my partner was doing an oral chemo which gave her many unpleasant side effects some of which caused her to become dehydrated. The pedialyte helped her a lot. Sometimes, when she could not face the child-centric flavors any more, we would get…

The Saddleback backpack weighs a ton, is uncomfortable, and impractical. I have one I am trying to sell.

I like canned cranberry sauce both whole and jellied. Often the homemade kind has too much orange or orange peel in it for me.

There is no need to inflict holiday music on us all ever. But if one must listen to it, never before Thanksgiving. I hate November and December - it is an aural nightmare. Siriusxm radio has about 12 holiday channels - I can’t even get away from this crap on radio I pay for

steamed green beans, whole cranberry sauce, baked sweet potatoes (just baked in their skins - no marshmallows, sugar, or goo of any sort added)

Finally someone else brave enough to admit that turkey just doesn’t taste very good and the whole thanksgiving meal is more tradition than tasty. I dislike turkey and this year will make both a turkey (for the thanksgiving purists) and a pork loin (for those who want to actually like the taste of what they are eating).…

When my partner had a complication from a back surgery to repair damage done by cancer that had metastasized to her bones, we had to take her back to the ER. Fluid was running (literally - it soaked through several bath towels) out of a hole in her back. The ER md came in and starting yelling at her when my partner…

Why did you assume a woman was a nurse instead of an md?

We have them in St. Louis and I think they are a great idea. I see people riding them all the time. Sure there are some jerks who leave them in inappropriate places, but I would hate to see the jerks win on this.

We failed at fostering because my partner could not get a handle on letting someone else adopt the dog and so ended up with a couple of other dogs. It is a real risk. We came to a mutual agreement with the rescue place after it happened a second time and turned in our fostering badge

I suggest trying them on before buying. They are too big for my head and slide off. I am not a particularly tiny woman and my head is not abnormally small. So I bought them for me, but they adorn the pate of my larger headed mate.

II found most therapist are just assholes. You pay them to sit there. they collect a lot of money, they don’t actually do anything, and when you question them they blame the client.
